MGR/Aaron L. « Ibanez GAX70 »
Published on 12/15/03 at 15:00I purchased this excellent instrument at Lentines Music in Ohio. The price was $199.95. www.lentines.com
I have this baby running through a Fender Deluxe and a Fender Princeton Chorus simultaneously. Before that, I was running it through a Marshall PCM50 and with either rig, this guitar sounds great!! The humbuckers sound incredible and being that this guitar has a maple neck, it has an excellent sound for blues and jazz! Not only is this an awesome guitar but the price is incredible!!!
The only problem I had with this guitar is the 1/4 inch jack kept coming loose, (nothing a socket wrench can't fix). I repaired that. I also had to resolder the pots but that isn't much of a big deal. The action on this guitar is great but it's even better when you have a tech setup the neck. The thing plays like a Les Paul now, if not better.
You can't go wrong with a maple neck. It gives the guitar a very nice tone for ripping up lead guitar for blues, rock, and jazz solos. The humbucker pickups that are installed on this guitar are great. Don't let anyone fool you, Gibson uses humbuckers in the big wig guitars as well. The bridge is solid and has easy adjustment knobs for the action. The body on this guitar is beautiful. Excellent stage look.
This is my first electric, I've been playing guitar for 3 years and I did allot of shopping around before I picked this baby up. I did allot of research as well. I got to try this out at the store first before I took it home, after all of my hunting for the perfect electric for that price, my search ended here! This guitar could of easily been sold for a grand or more. You can't go wrong with this guitar!!
